EPL: Man Utd lose five-goal thriller against Forest as Man City draw with Palace
Manchester United lost for the second time in a row under new manager Ruben Amorim as they fell against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Premier League game saw the Red Devils lost 3-2 to visiting Forest in a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford.
Super Eagles defender Ola Aina was in action for Forest, who capitalised on United’s defensive blunders to record their first win at Old Trafford in almost 30 years.
Nikola Milenković opened scoring in the second minute for Forest, Rasmus Hojlund equalised as both sides were level at halftime.
But Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood put Forest in control of the game early in the second half before Bruno Fernandes pulled a goal back on the hour mark.
